About Us

Our new name, Oliver & James Funeral Directors, is one that we use with pride, as it is the surnames of two incredible team members (pictured right) who have collectively dedicated more than 45 years of service to Dignity Oxfordshire, our Clients and their loved ones.
June Oliver is our Senior Administrator who has provided 25 years of service and Suzanne James is our Funeral Service Arranger who has served us and the Wantage community for 20 years!
